I hope this finds you relatively hangover free this morning. I am relatively hangover free. Relative to somebody who drank a keg of beer and washed it down with five enormous goblets of vodka that is. Bleh. Stupid delicious Spanish wine.
Let’s see what’s out there. Theo Walcott is talking about eating all his spinach and showing players his back. I’m not sure why. Perhaps he has a tattoo with the words ‘Fuck off, not gonna catch me’ on it. Which is fine until he reaches his 30s and slows down. Then it would just look silly. With little Mickey Owen broken again and big Wayne Rooney broken again could Theo get a call up to the England squad for Wednesday’s game against Croatia? I do not know and frankly I do not care.
Long-time Arsenal target Luca Modric is now attracting the attention of Chelsea, according to reports. It was a rumoured a deal to sign him was very close this summer but perhaps the fact we already have a thousand and three central midfield players put us off.
Speaking of our collection of midfielders The People say Sp*rs are going to launch a bid for Abou Diaby, Denilson and Armand Traore. They drag up that old line about that tedious cunt Damien Commoli knowing all about our young signings because he was a scout for us some time in the past. Let’s remember that he was merely a scout for us and had no direct involvement in signing players, that was ultimately down to Arsene. When he moved to Sp*rs, before we even signed Diaby as far as I remember, he became a key figure in their transfer business bringing in cracking players like Zokora, Kaboul, Ricardo Rocha and others who have really set the world on fire in their time at Shite Hart Lane. Two words for Commolli – fuck off. There’s no way we’d let them go there.
The Diaby situation is interesting though. £7m would be very tempting for a player who hasn’t managed to make a first team place his own and while he has shown some good stuff he does appear to be a bit lethargic at times. The manager seems to like him though, but not enough to play him regularly in central midfield. I suppose he could do worse than look at Mathieu Flamini (new deal please) who is only now getting forging his Arsenal career in his favoured position.
Not much else to tell you. Fingers crossed all our boys came through their international games unscathed. Eduardo came off after 55 mins for Croatia, I have no idea if that was tactical or because of a knock. Nicklas Bendtner scored for Denmark, Jens played 90 for Germany, Cesc played 90 for Spain and I’m not sure about anything else.
So on that rather lazy note, for I am too tired to go searching around for something that’s not that interesting anyway, I bid you good day. Good day.
